issue with EDGE on specific banner click

Details

Steps to reproduce

Hello,

we are the operator of the web site “http://www.questico.de” and we had found a problem with our site
in conjuction with the Microsoft Edge browser. We hope we can get some information to be able to fix
that issue.

The click on the advertisement on the right side of the page leads to an empty page.

Second Problem:

to work around the first problem all browser data has to be cleared and then the click on the advertisement works
but the wrong page will be displayed (the “advisor” in the advertisement does not match the one which is displayed
after the redirect).

In order to find out what causes that behaviour, we had done some investigations:

The mechanism which is used here:
Our website uses the advertisement platform "www.reviveservers.com". They use cookies to track the user
and which banner the user has clicked. Those cookies are the problem here. In the issue described first the cookie
called “OAID” could not be saved (no error, just not saved) and therefore will not be sent to the server.
After cleaning the browser data that first step worked and the cookie called "OAVARS[a6dc3c39]" comes to action.
This cookie will be updated with every advertisement reload. Updating that cokie on advertisement reload does not
work in MS Edge.

Environments
We have tested this issue in several windows installations and there were mixed observations. We used the installation
media from MS Technet (Windows10x64_de.iso, SHA1: fe817172ec9dd59d443253775004fc976e041a0a) on real hardware and
virtual machines (ESX and VirtualBox). Those installations in VirtualBox where the only one where the problem does NOT occur.

Thank you for your feedback. As you have described that the issue is not repro in VM version of Windows which they mostly contains the latest versions of MS Edge, appears to be this issue is already fixed and no longer reproducible in MS Edge. Also you have mentioned about your version as 10586 which is currently outdated and to be able to get new features and bug fixes such as yours, please consider updating your environment. This should solve your issue. Current public stable build is 14393.351 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12387/windows-10-update-history, you can also check your version by typing “winver.exe” in Windows search bar and press enter.

Thank you for your reply and effort.
We have upgraded a system with the “Windows 10 Anniversary Update” but the problem persists.
Also the issue can be found on every hardware and ESX installation we have tested on our enterprise (min. 10 machines). So it should be reproducible.

Thank you for the update. I am still having difficulties reproducing this issue. Please see the attached screen capture and let me know if I am missing something in the repro process. If you are still experiencing the issue could you please provide your fiddler trace that will help us investigate the issue.
